A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur

Writer's Center
4508 Walsh Street Bethesda

Set in the West End of St. Louis in the mid-thirties on a lovely Sunday for a picnic at Creve Coeur Lake. This delightful play, featuring four of Williams’ most engaging female characters, skillfully explores, with comic irony and great tenderness, the meaning of loneliness, the need for human connection, as well as the inevitable compromises one must make to get through “the long run of life.”

"... In 1979, Tennessee Williams' "A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur" opened in New York. Although not usually mentioned among Williams' masterworks, "Creve Coeur" is an intriguing blend of sadness and humor, a poignant, substantial play in which Williams creates four unforgettable female characters. Quotidian Theatre offers a credible production of the play."

"A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur is a tough play to produce, and for that reason most theaters leave it alone. Williams wrote it in 1979, four years before his death, and like many of his later pieces, it studies character across a limited event horizon. Notwithstanding the work’s challenges, Quotidian Theatre Company delivers an excellent production notable for the sparkling quality of the performances."
